Day 11 (polka dots) & Day 12 (stripes)

Hello Ladies I have fallen a little behind on my daily challenge so I decided to post them together. I am back to work so its going to get a little tougher to post daily but I will try my best.

For my polka dot challenge I keep it pretty simple. Did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri whirlwind white and stamped polka dot with all 4 colors from the Essence Whooom Boomm Collection.

Now for my stripes I did a a coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind white and stamped stripes with Orly Fancy Fuchsia and Konad black. 

That is all for today. Not very exciting I took both of these manis off pretty quick. Have a wonderful week ladies!

Day 8 metallic Essence Steel me

Quick post today I've been at work all day and had to do my metallic mani pretty late so I didn't get to post it this morning. For this mani I used Essence Steel me which a magnetic polish. Polish was very well pigmented and went on in one coat and while its still wet I quickly took my magnetic and went side to side on the nail to make the pattern you will be seeing. It takes some practice to get it right because you have to get close enough but not too to touch your polish.

 I love these and if you could get your hands on them please do. You cant get theses in the US and this one is from the old Essence magnetic collection (Metallic) but they have a new magnetic collection with cooler colors.Thanks for reading ladies!

Essence Whoom Boooom collection

I love Essence collections and one of the collections I fell in love with was their Whoom Boooom collection all the colors are very bright and perfect for summer. I got this collection from a recent swap since alot of the collections you cant get in the US since Ulta doesn't carry the limited edition collections. On to the swatches!

There is 4 colors in the collection all with some interesting name lol...

Chacalaca- its a dark but vibrant blurple it was smooth in 2 coat. (my fav)

Roy's Red- a red/pink and in some lights look even coral its a very unique color. It was smooth in 2 coats

Andy you're a star- A bright/pastel orange in the sun it look really bright and indoor look more creamy. Smooth in 2 coats. 

You've got the Art- A pastel greenish yellow depending on light. This was my least favorite the application wasn't the best needed 3 coats just to even out the horrible first 2. 

I really like this collection all the color worked well together, They were easy to apply and unique. I give this collection a thumb up lol..My love for Essence continues to grow. Have you ladies tried Essence polishes?
